LEGEND OF ZELDA TWILIGHT PRINCESS GN VOL 11 (C: 0-1-2) Authors able to give the lie to Tolstoy by rendering joy as a complex substance are few and far between: think Ron Carlson, Laurie Colwin, Ellen Gilchrist, Richard Russo. Yet too often, contemporary literature ignores this. Asked about our defining or most enlightening moments, most of us are as likely to recount happy memories as we are moments of despair. We need look no further than our own lives to recognize the problem we’ll encounter if we preoccupy ourselves with the Tolstoyan “unhappy family” at the expense of the happy ones. It often feels as if the contemporary literary scene has internalized Anna Karenina’s dictum on the nature of happiness-that it is not idiosyncratic, with the implication that it is not worth the kind of careful attention that literature applies to its subjects. Having no choice, Reginald consents, and enters into a hostile engagement in which the prospective bride and groom are openly antagonistic, each one resenting the other for their current state of affairs while their respective fathers revel in their suffering. With this, Bernard serves his son an ultimatum: marry Annabelle, or make do without family funds. Though Bernard wishes to use Annabelle to propel his family up the social ladder, his son does not wish to marry her, preferring instead to live the wild, single life he is accustomed to. Besmirched by shame, the earl is only too happy to marry Annabelle off to anyone willing to have her. Daughter of the Earl of Havercroft, a neighbor and enemy of the Mason family, Annabelle finds herself disgraced by a scandal, one that has left her branded as damaged goods. That is, until an opportunity for social advancement arises, namely, Lady Annabelle Ashton. However, he is not a gentleman by birth, a factor that pains him and his father, Bernard Mason, within the Regency society that upholds station over all else. Reginald Mason is wealthy, refined, and, by all accounts, a gentleman. His collection Jelly Roll: a blues was a finalist for both the National Book Award and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
